Abstract
Trade unions have a number of functions, some of which
have been more prominent than others at different periods
in history. But over the course of time trade unions have
developed five principal functions. These are respectively:
a service function; a representation function; a regulatory
function; a government function; and a public
administration function.
CONCLUSION
As a nurse manager we all should

be aware about the legal
responsibilities and the legal
governing in our profession. we
should create unions and strngthen
our profession.
